Angry Mob Suspected of Hurling Man to Death From Top Of South Stadium

This may not be true, but you know you’ve wanted to do it.

Lincoln and University of Nebraska police are investigating the cause of a 34-year-old Dannebrog man’s death Saturday when he fell from the South Stadium during the Nebraska Red-White Game.

Hendrik Petersen of 454 Willis, Dannebrog, Nebraska landed on a car in front of the June and Paul Schorr Center for Computer Science & Engineering. He was pronounced dead upon arrival at 2.55 p.m. at Bryan Medical Center in Lincoln where he was taken after the ‘accident’. Damages to the car are unknown at this time.

Numerous witnesses reported that Petersen had repeatedly refused the polite requests of other fans sitting around him to sit down when Nebraska was on offense. Shortly after the beginning of second quarter Petersen, who was seated approximately 10 rows from the top of Memorial Stadium’s South Stadium, apparently ‘fell’ from the top row. Despite drawing the attention of most of his neighbors in the South Stadium early in the game, according to a Lincoln Police Report, no one witnessed the fall.
